      To the Editor of the English Woman s Journal .

      Madam , I have been told that quill pens made by hand are far superior to those

      made by machinery , and are therefore used in some of the principal offices in London . Besides which Tory many persons are unable to write except with quill pens ; rejecting the best and most expensive ones made of any

      kind of metal . Might not the making of them be a suitable occupation for some young women who from lameness or other infirmities might be unable to follow a more active life ?

      The hair-dressing trade has been much alluded to , perhaps it might be some encouragement to mention that for tlie last six or eight years I have employed women hair-dressers onlthey have given me very groat

      satisfactionas also to a great number y of , other ladies . , I remain , Madam ,

      Yours respectfully ,
